Youtube Channel Launch!

New YouTube Channel: ATEX Training with Jon Hichens

I'm excited to announce the launch of my new YouTube channel focused on ATEX and hazardous area training.

If you're working in potentially explosive atmospheres, you know how important it is to stay current with regulations and safe practices. This channel is designed to make ATEX training more accessible, practical, and easy to follow—whether you're new to the topic or looking to brush up on your knowledge.

What You’ll Find on the Channel

Each video is created to give you real, usable information based on my years of experience in the field. The aim is to keep things straightforward, honest, and helpful.

Topics will include:

• What ATEX is and why it matters

• The Types of Protection

• Understanding hazardous zones (Zones 0, 1, 2, 20, 21, 22)

• How to identify and understand ATEX markings

• Common mistakes

Why Subscribe?

• I explain things clearly without jargon or fluff

• The videos are short, so you can learn something useful in a few minutes

• It’s a simple way to stay updated with changes in ATEX regulations and best practices

• You can comment and ask for specific topics you'd like me to cover

• It’s all free and open to anyone working in or around hazardous areas

Who It's For

The channel is for anyone involved in:

• Electrical work in hazardous areas

• Site inspections or maintenance

• Health and safety roles

• Equipment design or selection for explosive atmospheres

• Training teams or contractors on ATEX compliance

If that sounds like you, I think you’ll get real value from these videos.
